The problem are all the nonsense races that are considered here. Frankly, it should only be *all WT teams present* races, otherwise it just becomes a game of who is most willing to send good riders to random races.

Dumoulin will debut next week at Abu Dhabi where there is a time trial. Matthews probably at Paris-Nice to my knowledge.

The problem for Sunweb in this competition is that apart from Tour Down Under and the Cadel race, they didn't ride any races until the Tour of Oman where Søren Kragh could have won something but crashed out.

Kristoff still has a lot of opportunities before the TT in Abu Dhabi (where Dumoulin will likely win) but he hasn't really been that close to a victory yet, which is surprising. Dan Martin could also close the competition on the Malhão tomorrow.

That is if Walscheid or Theuns don't win the sprint tomorrow in Oman.

Well, not that easy , Dennis and Van Emden are normally better than him in a 11km TT.
